Swansea City vs Plymouth Argyle LIVE: Championship latest score, goals and updates from fixture
Follow live coverage as Swansea City face Plymouth Argyle in the Championship today.
An increasingly competitive second tier in English football remains an intense and exciting competition, with the prize of a place in the Premier League on offer at the end of the season.
Relegation from the top flight last term means Luton, Burnley and Sheffield United are all back in the second tier this term and will be expected to push for play-off spots again at least, but so too will Norwich City, an improving Coventry and beaten play-off finalists Leeds United. At the other end of the table, Wayne Rooney is aiming to revive Plymouth's fortunes after they narrowly avoided relegation last year, with Portsmouth and Derby the teams promoted from League One along with play-off final winners Oxford.

Wrexham keeper Arthur loves pre-match engagement with fans
Okonkwo has become a real fans' favourite during his two seasons at The Racecourse and he is now preparing to make the step-up with the Reds to the Championship. The goalkeeper originally joined Wrexham on loan from Premier League giants Arsenal during the opening stages of the 2023-24 League Two campaign and he has fully embraced the pre-match interactions he has with supporters. Okonkwo told Amanpour and Company: 'I've seen both sides to it. I was at Arsenal and the season I had with the first team, you were literally escorted everywhere you're going. 'You don't see the fans. We have security everywhere and I think that's a special thing that's at Wrexham at the moment. 'You know, you come in before every game, we sign everyone's stuff and, you know, you feel good about it. 'It's really special to be able to engage with the fans before the game and that's something you don't really get, obviously, higher up the levels and... I hope it stays like that. 'Being able to engage with fans as much as we can, it's always a special feeling.' Two other fan favourites - Steven Fletcher and Mark Howard - have departed the club following the League One promotion-winning campaign and executive director Humphrey Ker says bidding farewell to players is tough to do. He said: 'Really, the cruellest irony of this whole thing is that the success that these players deliver for the club creates a huge challenge for them, in terms of their ability to continue with the club as it goes up through the levels. 'With Arthur, he's a young player, he's got unbelievable potential. He's already a fantastic player. 'So, he's someone that, I think has a very long future with the club if he so chooses and if we can hold on to him, you know, if he doesn't go and get signed by Real Madrid! 'This summer, we said goodbye to, in particular, Steven Fletcher and Mark Howard. 'Chomp, as he's known, Mark Howard is someone whose been with us from the National League all the way up. He's had three promotions in a row. 'Fletch has had two promotions with us and they're not only fantastic players, but they're great people. 'I mean, a huge basis of the success that we've enjoyed as a club has been the quality of not only the player, but the person that the manager's been able to bring in and it's brutal. 'It's really, really tough. I mean, it's such a tight-knit group. It's such an incredible dressing room. 'That character is really the most valuable thing that we've been able to unearth. The individual players, great players, great value in terms of transfer fees and wages, and all that sort of stuff. 'But, actually, the thing that has delivered three successive promotions, that starts with the people, the characters, the personalities. 'So, yes, saying goodbye to those people is very hard. It's very hard.'

Trent Alexander-Arnold picks Real Madrid number and will sport new name on back
Real Madrid will officially unveil Trent Alexander-Arnold as a Los Blancos player ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup but the Liverpool star will not be able to wear the No.66 Trent Alexander-Arnold will wear the No.12 shirt at Real Madrid with La Liga rules preventing him from donning the same 66 that he wore during his entire Liverpool career, and he'll have a new name on the back of it too. The England star, 26, will officially be unveiled as a Real Madrid player on Thursday after completing a transfer worth £10million. He was poised to join on a free transfer, however, Los Blancos paid out a significant fee in order for the Reds academy graduate to participate for them in the FIFA Club World Cup rather than joining at the end of the month. Alexander-Arnold wore the same No.66 throughout his time at Anfield, however, he is unable to wear that same number in Spain. That's because La Liga rules state that first-team players must wear a shirt number between one and 25, with Nos. 13 and 25 reserved specifically for goalkeepers. With that in mind, various reports have now confirmed that Alexander-Arnold will wear No.12 for his new club this coming season, with the defender also set to have his name, Trent, on the back of his shirt rather than his surname. The No.12 was worn for over a decade by a former Bernabeu favourite in Marcelo; the Brazilian left-back made the number his own during a trophy-laden 16-year spell in the Spanish capital. Eduardo Camavinga then donned the number for a short while before switching to the No.6 last season. Alexander-Arnold, who has signed a six-year deal with Real, has already changed his Instagram account to remove the number 66 from his handle, with his new account tag just @trent. The defender was met with a backlash from Liverpool fans after announcing he would not be renewing his contract with the Premier League champions. He was, though, given a positive reception on his farewell appearance last month. "I didn't know what to expect at Anfield after what happened a few weeks ago. To get the reception that I got means more than anything to me," the emotional star said after Liverpool's final game of the season. "I hope that one day the fans of this club will be able to recognise the hard work and everything I've done for this team. There wasn't a second where I didn't think about this team. I've loved every single minute of it. It goes down as the best day of my life for me."

Our long-term vision is to develop our first team-captains."There is no standing still in the academy - we are in a really good spot but we still have a long way to go."Listen to the full interview with Sam Gisborne on BBC Sounds
